Adam

¹ Adam, Seth, Enosh,

² Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared,

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

¹³ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve.

¹⁴ And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

¹⁹ And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

²⁰ The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

²¹ So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.

²² And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.

²³ And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”

⁸ Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

⁹ But the LORD God called out to the man, “Where are you?”

And to Adam He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

²⁰ And Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all the living.

²¹ And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

And Adam had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man,” she said.
